About the Mat-Su Valley
Although these are two distinct river valleys, made by two rivers that
don’t cross each other (the Matanuska and the Susitna), local people
treat the two valleys as if they were one, calling them “The Valley.”
You’ll also often hear this region referred to by its shortened
nickname, “Mat-Su.” An Alaskan form of government similar to a county
(but called a “borough” here) covers much of the Mat-Su area. There are
two easy to get to visitor centers. One is in downtown Palmer. The
other – the Mat-Su Visitor Center – is just north of the intersection of the Parks and Glenn Highways.
